Lime out Yellow in

My wall of lime green. I spend Sunday working on and fishing up all my lime green blocks. This is what I love the wall filled. 

Five 6" poverty pieced blocks

Six migrating geese. The geese are back for a week now. Not sure they got the note that spring would be a month late this year. 

Three 10" sampler blocks

12 pin wheel blocks. Love these little cuties.

Lime sting half blocks. 

See some will have the other colour. 

Yellow, I worked hard on my box of yellow. Cutting down some strips in the the smaller squares I need. Sorting and ironing and just a good old clean up. I will get some blocks of yellow done this week. I have linked up with Soscrappy and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 

Today I go to the Red Deer Quilt Show. So much fun. I got an invite to be driven so I have friends to go with too. Best got on the road. 

Lime Green Easter Weekend

I got a little more lime scraps sewn up. I finished my small set of 7 1/2" sampler blocks. I have them here with the purple ones from February.  

I got a few Migrating geese done. 

The real Canadian geese have returned this week to our land of cold and snow. They are having a hard time finding food, all the fields are snow covered. 

So this week's blocks on the wall together. At the end of the month I like to show a nice full wall of all my rainbow sewing. This month I still want to do a bit more so maybe next Saturday I will show all the lime together. I still have some string blocks I want to do and the larger sampler blocks too. 

Here are the purse and book cover panels wanting to get finished up.

Lime Green for Spring

2 weeks ago I had made this green background. I worked on making Hexagon flowers to go on it and got them appliqued in place. The plan is to make a bag. In this photo, they are only pinned in place. 

I have been unable to make a blog post for a while. My computer broke. I have gotten a new one. I think I finally have all that I need now to do my normal computer work. I did not have email. I had my phone and could go to facebook but I do not use it to do web stuff as I have a laptop. What a pain.

Friday after working, I got the machine quilting done. I did tiny leaves all over the green and also quilted the flowers in matching thread. 

Here are all 3 pieces. The top 2 for the bag and the large bottom one for a book cover. I still have the finishing to do still. But my new fabric is ready for the projects. 

I trimmed up my 2 piles of triangles. I need them for my sampler blocks. 

Here is a tray of more cut units for blocks I have planned. 

I got 1 sampler blocks done today. It is the smaller 7 1/2" blocks. I still plan to make more 7 1/2" and 3 in the 10" size. My units are done and ready to sew.

Spring Green

Spring is in the air, NOT here. We got a dump of the white stuff today. You know up to your knees stay inside, shovel every few hours or lose track of the the drive way. 

So I got to stay in and sew all day. 

I got a few strips and squares sewn in to green patchwork. My plan it to make at least a bag, maybe a book cover. I have not really thought about what size I need for sure. 

Also I got a ton of sorting and trimming down some lime green scraps. 2" sq, 2.5", sq 3" sq, then strips that are 1 1/2", 2", 2.5", and 3" strips. There is also the larger chunks and a pile of the dark green that was in the wrong box.  I will be more ready to make my sampler blocks this week and the few others blocks. 

I have added this post to Soscrappy and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2018. 

I finished up some of the purple still this week. I had lots of triangles left, so I made pinwheels. I also make a patchwork of purple for a book cover. 

I have been thinking of doing a string quilt for sometime. Well I got a good start on some blocks. I prepared my papers 8" sq phone book pages. I still have 6 or 7 phone books hidden away for paper. I am using then a 1" strip of white kona down the middle. Each side of the the blocks will have a different colour. So far I have 12 purple halves done. I think I will get out graph paper and colour in a plan. Then I will know how many blocks and what colours to do. 

I got this patchwork quilted later today. Just before supper. 

Close up of some quilting. 

I have a quilt going to the National Juried Show! I got happy mail this week. I have keep this little quilt off the blog and I will show you after the show opens near the end of May. I might know a judge or 2 and I do not want them to know what quilt is mine. So it is still off the internet. 

No, you have not seen it. 

I am going to make you wait. 

Design Wall Monday

I have some lime green rail fence checkerboard blocks done. Green and lime are two different colours in my stash. I have a scrap box just for lime green. I once did a quilt where the back ground was lime. I got started on the rail fence checkerboard blocks after being inspired by Bonnie Hunters and her leaders and ender challenge. Go check out her post about the rail fence challenge. 

I needed a gift to give away so I got a good start with my selvages. I think I will keep going and make some for myself. I have used the heat resistant silver fabric and plan these to be hot mats. They still need a binding. 

I have added this post to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, and Make it Monday.
